Rabbit polyclonal anti 53bp1 antibody

Manufactured by Novus Biologicals
Sourced in United States

The Rabbit polyclonal anti-53BP1 antibody is a laboratory reagent used to detect the 53BP1 protein in biological samples. 53BP1 is a protein involved in the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks. This antibody can be utilized in various applications, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence, to study the expression and localization of 53BP1 in different cell types and experimental conditions.

Stable knockdown and the control cells were plated onto chambered slides. On the next day, the cells were washed with PBS, and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and then permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 min at room temperature. The cells were washed with PBS and blocked with 5% FBS overnight at 4 °C. Rabbit polyclonal anti-53BP1 antibody (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA; Cat. No.: NB100-305) and mouse monoclonal anti-PML antibody (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA; Cat. No.: 05-718) were added to the cells in an orderly manner. Slides were washed and then the bound antibodies were detected with the secondary antibodies, Alexa-conjugated 488 donkey anti-rabbit IgG and 594 donkey anti-mouse IgG (Molecular Probe, Grand Island, NY, USA). A drop of antifade reagent containing DAPI (Invitrogen) was added to the slides to stain nuclear DNA. The slides were observed and photographed with Zeiss Axiovert 200M flourescence microscope equipped with AxioCam HRM camera and over 200 cells (per sample) were incorporated into the analysis. For γH2A.X foci, rabbit polyclonal to γH2A.X (Abcam; Cat. No.: ab11174) was used.

Here, 5–7 × 105 cell/mL were continuously exposed to 100 nM CPT (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 1 hr. The cells were spun on the slide, then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS, after which the cells were permeabilized by 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, and non-specific binding was blocked by the Odyssey® blocking buffer. Rabbit monoclonal antibody against γH2AX, Ser139 (CST, Danvers, MA, USA), rabbit polyclonal IgG antibody against RAD51 (H-92) (SantaCruz, Dallas, TX, USA), mouse monoclonal antibody against RAD51 (SantaCruz), and rabbit polyclonal anti-53BP1 antibody (Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO, USA) were used to detect γH2AX and 53BP1 focus formation, respectively. Alexa Fluor 647 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Alexa Fluor 647 donkey anti-mouse IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used as the secondary antibody. The nuclei were counter-stained using Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Images were acquired using the Operetta High-Content Analysis System (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). At least 300 cells were counted by eye in images opened in ImageJ 1.52p [63 (link)]. Positive foci formation of γH2AX, 53BP1, and RAD54L cells were determined by more than four foci per cell.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
